A great summary of the Western Media reaction to the 'Cartoon Jihad'
In other words, let's not go "too far" and openly criticize those who would kill us for exercising our freedom to criticize Islam -- we'll only make it worse! Yeah, right. And let's make western woman wear burqas so they won't provoke rapists. This is not about "bashing Muslims" -- it's about highlighting why we're in a war. Zerbisias seems to have forgotten that thousands of us have already been murdered by Islamic fundamentalists. We're way past "further divisions."
Daniel Pipes has a must-read editorial on the subject: Cartoons and Islamic Imperialism.
The key issue at stake in the battle over the twelve Danish cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad is this: Will the West stand up for its customs and mores, including freedom of speech, or will Muslims impose their way of life on the West? Ultimately, there is no compromise: Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not.
It is not blasphemy for a non-muslim to portray their prpohet. It is blasphemy for a muslim to portray their prophet.
just like
It is not blasphemy for a non-christian to deny that Jesus was/is divine. It is blasphemy for a christian to deny the divinity of Jesus.
Daniel Pipies is correct - "There is no compromise" Either the West submits to Islam or we don't.
Either Islam accepts that in Westren nations Islamic Law will not be enforced or they won't.
I will not submit.
